Sometimes I just shake my head at the things that I see/hear. I'm sure you do too, so let's share the craziness!
I love our vet but this ... ! That's an expensive box of Smarties - maybe it's a HUGE box!
4 violent strikes here this month. Rioting, looting and burning large truck carriers at the tollgate...
The latest was two night's ago.

Who would be crazy enough to pay R49,000 per month RENT? If you can afford to do that, then you may as well just buy the house!
Oh heck this thread will attract some controversial conversation and opinions.
Here is just some of what make me shake my head in disbelieve.
1. People disobeying the road traffic laws
2. Un - “reasonable person” acting from people
Just a few. As time progress ill add more

Yeah tell me about it. My brother's kids have iPad's - one is 5 and the other is 3.
I would guess R10 million or more. Have a look at https://www.property24.com/for-sale/yzerfontein/western-cape/425#G454539. Houses which don't have anything close to the facilities which this house has, are selling for R4 - R5 million.
What?????????????? Unbelievable!!
Nooooooooooooooooooo that's crazy!
To underline the "crazy" going on around us, think about the following:
Our universe is a very inhospitable place with busts of radiation of various types bombarding our little planet daily. Most of this does not reach us due to earths magnetic field diverting it. However one good gamma ray burst from a "nearby" collapsing star could render our electronics useless. And in this day and age this would result in the collapse of civilization as we know it. We are so dependent on bits and bytes that we can not even perform the simplest of tasks without them.
But only crazies and nutters worry about crap like this, right?
I will stick to my mechanical mods, just in case, not that I'm a nutter or anything like that...
(Note to self: I have to rethink my priorities)

Well aren't you the bungle of joy

Ok, well if its about R10m then renting it for R49k per month is a lot cheaper than buying it!
Also, those who need a place like that for say a year or two and dont want to buy - would love that rental option. Without the hassle of buy/sell, maintenance, rates etc
Maybe not completely. If you consider that there are many excellent educational apps available for kids of all ages, there are some method in this apparent madness. Tablets are much more suitable for this than PCs - the user interface is much easier for young fingers (compared to keyboards and mice). Like any other educational tool, proper parental/teacher guidance is a requirement - it does not replace babysitters.
Technology in teaching/development can be a great tool if applied properly. Both my two younger kids are in the Australian school system and at their schools iPads form an integral part of the school day.
Renting it might be cheaper than buying, but you're putting R49k in someone else's pocket every month, whereas if you bought the property it's going back into your own pocket. But yes - no maintenance hassles etc. are an advantage to rental.
Hmmmm I hadn't thought of it that way.

@Raindance, a bit is so old school - qubit (or quantum bit) is the new thing

Before you guys get the pitchforks out, some schools here are using iPads as educational tools.
My child has been using an iPad since he could and it has actually helped in certain respects.
I believe keeping him safe from a lot of the trash online is important until he is mature enough to understand what is around him.
IPads and technology are also going to form an integral part of their future so no point in denying them the use.
There is also a difference between responsible usage and moderation as exclusive use of the iPad all day is not conducive for other developmental milestones.
As a parent, some days you just need 1 hour of uninterrupted work time or something to keep junior busy while you prepare dinner or tend to a migrane etc.
49k to check for leaks and see if you like the place before you spend 20 mil is a worthwhile sacrifice to ensure money is well spent.
Also such prices are aimed more at the international holiday makers.
There are apartments down the road from sandton that are 60m2 and were refurbished about 3 years ago that go for 30k per month.
These are aimed at international guests who need quick access to sandton and don't want to commute far.
I don't think the world has gone mad, I think there is less "patience" and less willingness to understand wich in turn produces more extreme behaviours.
@antonherbst, I would say people who drive in the emergency lane, people who don't indicate and people who "endanger" the lives of others on the public roads.
My words were chosen carefully.
I do think that there are moments when I need to disobey the rules of the road e.g. my son is having a croupe attack and can't breathe and I'm rushing him to the ER (even though I have multiple nebulisers and all the meds I need at home). I'll gladly break the "rules" as long as I'm not endangering the life of my family or the lives of others around me.

Yeah that I can understand but my brother loads movies on them too. The kids once brought them over and never used them once in their 5 day stay with Granny. They were too busy playing with lego, drawing , playing ball sports outside, etc. We even have a sandpit and they love water - a big basin in with toys to play too.
